Italian Soul. Melbourne Heart. Music that makes you Volare.
BACIAMI — A celebration of timeless Italian classics
Step into the golden age of Italian song as Bella Ciao Banda Italiana brings Hepburn Springs a night rich with charm, nostalgia, and the irresistible spirit of an Italian festa.
This is Italian music at its most cinematic - warm, playful, passionate, and full of life.
The show unfolds like an Italian summer night suspended in time: moonlit alleyways, seaside flirtations, lively piazzas, and the unmistakable glow of la dolce vita.
It’s an evening of stories, glances, melodies, and atmosphere, transporting you into the warmth and wonder of una notte Italiana.
Filled with the colours of Italian jazz, swing, and traditional song, you’ll hear classics like Arrivederci Roma, Tintarella di Luna, Buonasera Signorina, Volare among other favourites that have shaped generations.
Bella Ciao regularly performs at cultural events and festivals across Victoria, including the Melbourne Food & Wine Festival, at music venues such as Paris Cat Jazz Club, Kew Courthouse and they are also in demand for private events, sharing Italian music with audiences who embrace its joy, nostalgia, and unmistakable spirit.
With authenticity and vibrant flair, lead singer and fluent Italian speaker Lorena Stipani, brings every song to life, transporting you straight to la bella Italia.
